Making decisions about where to live may be one of the first times that the ramifications of climate change impact people's personal lives.
Deciding where to move and what home to buy is a complicated decision, and people have to weigh their own personal decisions based on job, family and culture, but Clark urges people to understand the trade-offs. The findings out of University of Vermont are"pretty consistent with what we've seen for the past 20 years with the two cycles of the census in terms of population growth in the Pacific Northwest"Climate change plays a role in the increased number of forest fires in the Pacific Northwest because the area is getting increasingly arid and dry.
Insurance companies are wising up to this and are pricing fire risk into the Pacific Northwest in ways that they hadn't in the past, Keenan said.
